This invention relates to a shoe rack and aims to provide novel means whereby a num ber of shoes may be supported in such a way as to insure shoes of certain pairs being held together for the convenience of the user.

An important object, of the invention is to 7 view which will vappear as the descriptionv proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing: Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrating a rack constructed in accordance with the invention as secured to a supporting structure. Figure 2 is a sectional view through the rack.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates the supporting rod which is formed with right angled extremities 6 having eyes 7 through which suitable securing screws 8 extend for securing the supporting rod to the supporting structure.

Shoe forms indicated at 9 are mounted on Serial No. 222,291.

the rod 5, each of which forms includes anelongated member having a transversely disposed opening extending from one edge of the form to the opposite edge thereof, which openings accommodate the rod 5. 40

As shown, the openings in the forms 9 are arranged in close proximity to one end I thereof, so that each form will include a long end and a short end, with the result that the long ends of the forms will hang downwardly at all times.

In the use of the device, a shoe is positioned over a form in a manner as shown, the short end of the form hanging downwardly, with the result that the Weight of the shoe positioned on the form will overbalance the form, causing the shoe to be held against the supporting surface to which the rod is secured, and at the same time providing a form which may be readily and easily disconnected from the shoe in which it is positioned.

I claim:

A shoe rack including a supporting rod, said supporting rod having right angled ends formed with eyes, a plurality of shoe forms having openings to receive the rod, means for supporting the forms in a position to cause the forms to swing inwardly under the weight of shoes positioned thereon, andmeans extending through the eyes for securing the supporting rod to a supporting surface.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto alfixed my signature.
